A Journey to Satisfy My Appetite and Curiosity

A Perfect Plate of Pio Pio

August 17, 2011

It’s been 2.5 years since I first encountered Pio Pio and needless to say, it was love at first bite. Through various trips and takeouts, I have tried many different sides there and settled into a comfortable relationship with Pio Pio.

“One whole pio, saffron rice, avocado salad and fries with extra green sauce” – my usual order to the Pio Pio on 10th Avenue and 44th Street. (A side note, one day, I will figure out what goes into the green sauce, mark my words)

If there’s one thing that Pio Pio is, it is consistently delicious. The chicken is always perfectly seasoned and moist, the rice is flavorful, and the avocado salad is just the right ripeness. The fries suffers a little with delivery but comes out thick and crispy when I have it in the restaurant (still delicious dipped in the spicy green sauce regardless of condition).
